BvS Gal Gadot IS Wonder Woman! - Part 10

[KRYPTON INC.]

I prefer her brown eyes to blue contacts for some reason. I like the natural look.

With Snyder... well being SNYDER, I am betting Gal's WW baby blues will be the product of post production magic.

 

[MrsKent26]

If he can make it look natural, I'm fine with it. I just prefer her brown eyes. They work with her face and colouring.

Not necessarily. He didn't have Amy Adams go brunette even though Lois is generally (not saying always) depicted with darker hair. And I honestly doubt he'll have Affleck wear blue contacts. That said, with WW it could go either way.

 

[Steelsheen]

given what we learned about actors and their ability to convey emotions through their eyes and how contacts tend to hamper them...

leave Gal's eyes alone. yeah i wouldve wished for a striking WW beauty with dark hair and light colored eyes but at least Gal got the striking beauty part down. given how untested she is in terms of acting ability lets not put anything on her that can impede that ability.

With contacts, Gadot may end up looking something like Nelly Furtado; Furtado is olive skinned as well, but she's naturally blue-eyed. Like you said, though, the trick is to make it look authentic.

I personally think they should just leave Gadot's eyes as is. Nothing wrong with a brown-eyed Wonder Woman.

 

[Matt.S99]

I would have no issue if she looked like Nelly Furtado.

Yeah, I was just trying to give MrsKent an idea as to how Gadot might look with contacts even though I agree with her that they aren't really needed.

Yeah, I'd be fine if she looked like Furtado. I just don't like fake-looking contacts like Routh's in SR and, like you said, there's nothing wrong with her having brown eyes.

 

[regwec]

I think the raven-dark hair is a more important visual signifier.

 

[Fizicks]

lanrialdi's work. really impressive!!!!!!

Just one word... WOW!!!!!!



And speaking of eye color, I would prefer her having blue eyes, but it's not an absolute must. Here's a manip I first saw over at the forums of comicbookresources:

Which in my humble opinion, looks amazing. Brown eyes would be okay, but with blue eyes, she's striking, and very Diana.

Though I agree with Regwec, the raven-dark hair is even more important. That would be absolutely mandatory.

 

[Leevor]

Kind of conflicted about the eyes, really. On the one hand, I'd love for Diana to have the crystal blue eyes of an ice dragon, but on the other the brown eyes are part of Gadot's charm.

 

[regwec]

That manip does look rather amazing.

 

[I SEE SPIDEY]

Yeah that manip almost has me wanting her to wear contacts.

I think the eyes shouldn't look "alien." I think it makes her too creepy looking.

But at the same time they shouldn't look "natural." In the sense that they look subdued. So if she wore barely noticeable contacts, it would be useless.

They should look like eyes she could CONCEPTUALLY have IRL, but would be extremely rare and unusual to posses.

I hate to act like I'm superior, but I seldom find eyes that match "my" vision for the character.

But you know what they say, "If you manip it, she will come."

perfect!

 

[ganon51]

I know this has been posted before, but it really demonstrates Gal's charisma and screen presence. She completely outshines Gina while barely doing anything. Now I know that Henry and Ben are miles above Gina Carano, but I still think Gal gives off such a confident vibe in both her interviews and in the Fast films that she'll be able to hold her own. Whether she can carry her own film is another story, but she clearly has the potential.

Looks like WW's going to have a heavy israeli-accent

 

[TheFlamingCoco]

That's a great clip, though unfortunately it contains a garbled Fbomb. The mods don't like that kind of thing.

I always thought Gal had a lot of presence. That's different from dramatic acting ability, but I don't think she'll need a lot of that in an ensemble flick.

 

[Matt.S99]

I didn't hear any F bomb

 

[I SEE SPIDEY]

I didn't either.

 

[TheFlamingCoco]

OH! I just misheard "What can you offer?" with "F***in' otters!"

Pretty funny

 

[jaymes_e06]

Yeah, I'd be fine if she looked like Furtado. I just don't like fake-looking contacts like Routh's in SR and, like you said, there's nothing wrong with her having brown eyes.

Speaking to that I think that Elektra's eyes looked very natural in Daredevil. So much so I only just realized they weren't her natural color.

If they can be this subtle and natural looking I wouldn't mind contacts at all.

 

[DeadPresident]

The problem with contacts is the pupil is always midway dilated. I notice it a lot, Brandon Routh's in SR kind of put me off the concept. No matter the lighting conditions his pupils stay the same size, it's kind of odd. Not really a big deal but unless they can somehow use CGI it won't look natural.

Maybe I'm a closet OCD and nobody else would notice though.

 

[John-An]

Not necessarily. He didn't have Amy Adams go brunette even though Lois is generally (not saying always) depicted with darker hair. And I honestly doubt he'll have Affleck wear blue contacts. That said, with WW it could go either way.

Bruce Wayne's traits are not his blue eyes, at least not as Superman. But if they put Gadot some blue on her eyes that doesn't seem fake and looks natural and beautiful at the same time I'm in. If they use her brown eyes I'd be happy too.

Well clearly Routh's eyes in Superman Returns and Jessica Alba's in The Fantastic Four don't look quite natural. I didn't notice the midway dilated pupil thing though. I can never put my finger on why certain things look unnatural to me in films I just know it when I see it most of the time.

I'm not dying to have a blue eyed Wonder Woman. If they want to do it, awesome, if not equally awesome. It's all good to me because it's not a big deal.

I think it's a trade off. The blues help her look more mysterious and otherwordly while the browns make her look cuter and more approachable.
